Is How Our Intern & Her BFF Handle Their Emotions Genius…Or Totally Unhealthy?

Some people just embrace sharing emotions better than other people. Some people need to be FORCED to do it. Our Intern Olivia and her roommate fall into the latter camp – they hate sharing emotions. SUPER anti-feelings (they don’t like having them, talking about them, anything).

So, her and her roomie BFF have come up with the solution: Feelings Friday. On Fridays – and Fridays ONLY – they let it all out. Any worries, concerns, sad negative energy – that’s the day.

Is this like healthy compartmentalization – a time blocking of emotions – or is it keeping everything bottled up and super unhealthy?
